She claims she told about the incident three members of staff of Biden, two friends, brother and mother (now deceased).
The Agency interviewed people who worked in Biden’s 27 years ago, but none of them remembered the complaints Reid.

Eight women (one of whom was reed) remembered that the politician made them feel uncomfortable with inappropriate physical affection. However, no one talked about attempts of harassment or sexual violence. Biden claimed that nothing improper in his actions was not.
